Fair points. I don't know what Trump's actual policy is when it comes to trade deals I was making (bad) assumptions on the fact that he backed out of or signaled backing out of some trade deals that relied too much on market forces doing the reform work for us.
- smpetrey 9y agoTrump (err well, The Whitehouse and his staff) don't have a policy on trade deals at the moment officially. But the GOP do. Some notables include: "International trade is crucial for our economy." [1] "Negotiate reductions in tariffs on U.S. industrial goods and the elimination of other trade barriers so that our autos, heavy machinery, textiles, and other products will no longer be shut out of foreign markets." [2] "Advance a Free Trade Area of the Americas to take advantage of burgeoning new markets at our doorstep." [3] Interesting to see how GOP ideals are forced to evolve at the helm of a madman president because the quoted text above around a decade old.
